JS Keycodes: getting keycodes via an input field

[andrey-p]

I was just looking for some JS keycodes and thought an IA might be useful.

I saw there was already one that is waiting to be released, but it only offers results for "keycode tab" and similar.

I was thinking it could be pretty cool to handle queries like "javascript keycodes" and display a textbox like on this page, where you press a key and get an instant response. That should be fairly easy to do with some front-end JS.

I don't mind taking this on if you think it's a good idea.

Sounds cool! Feel free to extend the one that's there 👍

@andrey-p Only thing would be; if it's got JS in it for interaction (i.e. like https://duckduckgo.com/?q=timer&ia=timer or https://duckduckgo.com/?q=stopwatch&ia=stopwatch ) then it should be a spice (https://github.com/duckduckgo/zeroclickinfo-spice) rather than a Goodie

As per conversation here, we are to put on hold any goodies with input fields, till custom templates are supported.

@killerfish Hmm, how about Spice IAs? (see @mintsoft's comment above)

@andrey-p Yea, we can opt for a spice in the meantime, you can go ahead with that, we can always port it as a goodie later on when its possible ^^
